Course Drinks
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup
  • 4 cups lemon-lime soda or sparkling water
  • 6 lime wheels for garnish
  • 1 cup fresh cherries for garnish

Instructions

  • Mix the cherry-lime base: In a large pitcher, combine the cherry juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir until the syrup is fully incorporated.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the base until ready to serve.
  • Top with soda: Right before serving, slowly top the pitcher with the lemon-lime soda or sparkling water, stirring gently once to combine without losing the fizz.
  • Garnish and serve: Pour over ice and garnish each glass with lime wheels and fresh cherries.

Notes

Make the cherry-lime base up to 2 days ahead and keep it in the fridge, but don't add the soda until right before serving or it'll go flat.
